PAPER SUBMISSION:

Pervasive Health 2016 will accept submissions in the following categories:

  • Full papers (up to 8 pages including references)
  • Short Papers (up to 4 pages including references)
  • Posters (up to 4 pages including references)
  • Demos (2 pages)
  • Workshop proposals (2 pages)
  • Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages)

Full papers should describe novel and mature work, and are limited to 8 pages including references. Short papers should describe more focused and succinct, but mature work. Pervasive Health will not accept papers that are currently under review, published or accepted in another venue. All submissions must be anonymised. No identifying information on Authors or their affiliation should appear on the paper (except for neutral references to their own work).

Papers should be submitted through EasyChair system
http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pervasivehealth2016

Please check the submission page for all submission details and templates:
http://pervasivehealth.org/2016/show/cf-papers

REVIEWING PROCESS AND PUBLICATION:

Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive Health 2016 program committee with additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research domains. Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. The paper should make explicit how the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been published or submitted. Authors will be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library. Proceedings are also submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL). In the previous years, the acceptance rate of the Pervasive Health Conference was around 30%.
